I do about 100~150GB a month, mostly torrents and fileshare services.
My line is currently with Web Africa, but I am willing to move it anywhere.
 
VOX seems like a good solution at the moment. A couple of months ago I would have recommended Afrihost, but not anymore. Just go read the AH threads. Good luck though, seems like they are all the same lately.
 
WA Business Uncapped. That's what I'm on right now. My monthly data usage is around 170GB (2mbps line). I've been downloading 'stuff" (via http/https/ftp/p2p/vpn) every day from 12AM to 6AM :D They don't like it very much if you download a lot during peak hours. In fact, they hate it with a passion. On weeekends, you get full p2p speeds all day/night. Just try to avoid downloading too much during those periods and you will be OK.

I still recommend their Business accounts. I've been rolling with AH business for a long time now.
 
Just upgraded my WA 5GB capped account to the 40GB + 80GB account and will try to schedule torrents and downloads for Download Plus times. The speed increase of openweb is insane :)

I still love it when it works. Just been a bad time for them lately. So would not recommend them at the moment. I am on their business account as well.

They have been having issues for the last year now. So not sure I would classify that as "lately".
 
My ISP experience:
Stay away from MWEB uncapped...not as advertised:mad: Moved over to Afrihost 1MB Business Uncapped(feeling the waters and gauging my usage) on a 2MB line from telkom (lowest entry level dsl line they provide).
After 4 months as a happy customer i monitored that i use between 50 and 70GBs a month so i switched to a 100GB capped data + 2MB data line speed with Afrihost. Works out cheaper than the 1mb uncapped account and i get 2mb speed on top of it.

So all in all i'm very satisfied customer :D
